For the benefit of those in the audience who are not familiar with the word: "Pez" is "rice water" (plain rice + water) - rice boiled to an extreme degree to render it soft (or softest stage), normally eaten during the early hours of the day by local Goans (mainly by poor peasants). God bless the 'pez' eaters -- for Goa truly belongs to such as these who strive to keep Goa shining -- through toil of sweat and blood. Response: >From your own description you have shown why, "The word "PEZ" seems to emerge (or be misused) recently in posts to derive a derogatory meaning." If PEZ is all that great why 'the poor peasants' eat it and not the badkars? If PEZ is so great why do only those who toil with sweat and blood have it? Do you have PEZ daily? If not, may I ask why not? We all 'upper class Goans' want PEZ around - but for somebody else. This is not an academic and cerebral dialogue and I do not plan to continue with it. Though I wanted to make the above points.
